Mr. S. --- The BOSS

World champion New York YANKEE owner George Steinbrenner passed away today at his home in Tampa, Florida. The greatest owner the game of baseball has ever known or will ever know leaves a legacy of winning and World Championships over his ownership era, second to no one. Mr.S. who had the wisdom to see the WIN METHOD as the greatest tool ever created in baseball for evaluating and finding some of the greatest talents to ever play the game and the wisdom to fund and use this tool to make the YANKEES of the past decade and a half the greatest sports team in the world. Mr.S. took a 10 million dollar investment, and built the greatest and richest sports franchise in the world. His continuous and never ending reinvesting of his profits to continually build and get better is an ear mark of the free enterprise system that has made America the greatest power in the world. I wish to offer the Stienbrenner family my warmest condolences, with all YANKEE fans a tear of sadness, all WIN METHOD fans a cheer for having the wisdom of being the smartest fans in the world. I have lost a friend and partner and am very sad, but as Captain Derek Jeter stated today, 'we must rejoice in what "the boss" has done for us and baseball and celebrate his life.' Hail the Boss, the Boss is dead. Rest In Peace Mr.S. We will have another beer together in heaven.

Just to make a point. If Mr. Steinbrenner ran the country instead of the scum who are now, we would still be the greatest country in the world. I'll miss you George and I loved all you did for the Yankees and baseball and charity.

As fans stood through "Taps" and a 2-minute moment of silence, the 27 World Series championship flags that George Steinbrenner cherished with all his might could be heard flapping at half-staff toward center field from the top of Yankee Stadium in the stiff breeze.

The New York Yankees celebrated the life of "The Boss" with a solemn 15-minute pregame tribute Friday night that included an vivid remembrance from Jeter, spoken to the crowd of 47,524 from behind the plate before. New York then paid tribute by rallying to beat Tampa Bay 5-4 on Nick Swisher's ninth-inning single.

Steinbrenner, the team's driving and blustery owner, died Tuesday, two days after the death of Bob Sheppard, Yankee Stadium's longtime public-address announcer. New York returned home following the All-Star break to mark what both meant to a franchise obsessed with its tradition.

"We gather here tonight to honor two men who were both shining stars in the Yankee universe," Jeter said as teammates and the Rays stood ramrod straight, caps off, in front of their dugouts. "Both men, Mr. George Steinbrenner and Mr. Bob Sheppard, cared deeply about their responsibilities to this organization and to our fans, and for that, will be forever remembered in baseball history and in our hearts."

The new ballpark, opened last year in one of Steinbrenner's final acts, could not have been quieter. Yankees executives in business suits watched somberly from behind the plate.

"Simply put," Jeter said, "Mr. Steinbrenner and Mr. Sheppard both left this organization in a much better place than when they first arrived. They've set the example for all employees of the New York Yankees to strive to follow."

The comments expressed here show why this is undoubtedly the #1 Yankee and baseball blog site in the World. The fans who come here to read and post are the greatest fans there are. A standing ovation for all of you.

Andy may be out a month or so. Could make him stronger for the September push and playoffs. Looks like Mitre will take his spot for now. Nice win yesterday for the team that doesn't quit. Keep the wins coming.

One thing I love about fans here compared to the BS talk forums, nobody whines and cries. Pettitte goes down, we play through it and someone fills the spot. Other guys step up and we continue to win. That is the WIN METHOD and the team before "I" or "me".

Hang in there Redsoxfan6, you can still catch the Rays and make the playoffs. When baseball fans learn that the only thing that counts is winning and winning declares who the best players are, then the fans will know baseball.

Mitre had nothing taking the loss. the pen did very well again keeping us in the game. I wonder how many games and at bats we will have to go through until Arod hits his 600th HR. Hope it is a lot sooner than waiting for his 500th as he swings for the seats every at bat takes the apple.

I was just perusing the baseball fever forum thread on Can Haren becoming a Yankee. Not one poster there has a clue about baseball, player talent or what they are even talking about. Utter fools in the talk forums, brilliant genius in this blog. Two different worlds, here based on winning, reality, and the truth. There based on ignorance, fantasy, and deceptions.

Steve.....you hit the nail on the head. At the forums, garbage posting garbage. WIN METHOD said the Yankees weren't in the market for a starter. We know that, but the baseball fever know nothing but garbage.

Just a headup YANKEE fans and posters here at WIN METHOD. A forum called talk-basball is no longer a baseball talk forum. It has been bought out and taken over by a shyster shill peddling baseball amd other sports cards. Keep away from this site and warn your family and friends.

Don't fret WIN METHOD fans. The glass is always half full. We just cam off a 7 game road trip going 4-3, we are still in first place, and now we are home with some great new assets who will start to fit into the fight places. On to the pennant and the playoffs.
